Here's the main riff...

    Em7              Bsus4           Dm7             Asus4
  E-------10-----------------------|-------8------------------------|
  B------------8-----------7-------|-----------6--------------------|
  G----------------------------9---|---------------------7----------|
  D-----9--------------------------|-----7--------------7-----------|
  A-7--------------------9---------|-5-----------------7------------|
  E------------------7-------------|-----------------5--------------|


         Em7                         Bm7
  It was cold in the kitchen and the lights were low
     Dm7           Am7
  As winter slowly stumbled home
      Em7                       Bm7
  The air felt different and it started to show
     Dm7            Am7
  As every breath resembled smoke
        Em7                     Bm7
  I was short of opinions and I wanted to know
  Dm7               Am7
  If you'd still be here tomorrow
             Em7                         Bm7
  Cuz it was cold in the kitchen and the lights were low
     Dm7             Am7
  As winter wrapped around Chicago


  Esus2      B
  The T.V.'s on too much
      D            A
  And I don't ever think enough
   Esus2                B
  About the things that matter most
     D                    A
  Or what can make me old
  Esus2          B
  And there's no argument
      D                 A
  For wasting time much better spent
     Esus2         B
  Complacent(ly)            *BB is not one to stick to the same lyrics...
            (in) replacing
    D           A
  A melody with smoke

I play these chords like this...
As has been suggested, you can play around with these chords a lot.
For instance, using m7th's or m11th's, or 7sus4's...

  Em7 Bm7 Dm7 Am7 Esus2 B D A
E-7---7---5---5---7-----7-5-5---|
B-8---7---6---5---7-----7-7-5---|
G-7---7---5---5---9-----8-7-6---|
D-9---7---7---5---9-----9-7-7---|
A-7---9---5---7---7-----9-5-7---|
E-----7-------5---------7---5---|

Play this 3 times...

     E                             G    A             G   A
  E--------------------------------0--|-0-------------0---0------------|
  B-/9-----------------------------0--|-0-------------0---0------------|
  G-/9--11--9----------------------4--|-6-------------4---6------------|
  D-----11--9-/9-7--6--6--4--2----5--|-7-------------5---7------------|
  A-----------/119--7--7--4--2----5--|-7-------------5---7------------|
  E--------------------------------3--|-5-------------3---5------------|

Or this way as suggested by Mark Gedmin (mrgedmi@ilstu.edu)

  E-----------------0--0---|
  B--9-7-5----------0--0---|
  G---------4-2-1---4--6---|
  D--9-7-6----------5--7---|
  A---------5-2-2---5--7---|
  E-----------------3--5---|


Then this transition riff to get to the next part...

  E--------------------------------|
  B-7-6-----6-----6-9-8------8-----|
  G-----9-7---7-9-------11-9-------|
  D--------------------------------|
  A--------------------------------|
  E--------------------------------|

Repeat this with the following lyrics...

    B   A  G   F  E   F  G   A
  E-0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0-|
  B-0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0-|
  G-8---6--4---2--1---2--4---6-|
  D-9---7--5---3--2---3--5---7-|
  A-9---7--5---3--2---3--5---7-|
  E-7---5--3---1--0---1--3---5-|

  I don't expect a smile when I come home
  But the blankets that I stole should keep you warm
  I hope there's not enough to fill a hole
  I'm further from the source to feel the floor

Then this again...

  E--------------------------------|
  B-7-6-----6-----6-9-8------8-----|
  G-----9-7---7-9-------11-9-------|
  D--------------------------------|
  A--------------------------------|
  E--------------------------------|

Now repeat everything up to the 1st transition riff,
and end with an A chord that fades into a B chord.
